Geuder and LensWista have agreed on a sales cooperation for the first bandage lens from pure silicone. Fields of application of the bandage lens are corneal injuries, PK, lasik, crosslinking and recurrent corneal erosion. Due to its 8 times higher oxygen permeability com-pared to conventional contact lenses this special contact lens from biocompatible pure silicone contributes to fast wound healing and significant pain relief. The innovative surface tech-nology gives the lens a maximum and durable hydrophility. The aspherical inner surface of the lens reduces noticeably the pressure on the cornea to provide the patient with a maximum of tolerability and comfort  without impairment of vision. De-posits of lipids or mucins within the lens and therefore the risk of infections are also reduced significantly. LensWista ban-dage lenses are approved as medical devices for a seven day long-wear period according to Council Directive 93/42/EEC.
